Success in sales and marketing relies on your ability to establish lasting, meaningful relationships with valuable customers. These connections open doors to opportunities for your sales team with the right people, at the right time. However, in this fast-paced era it is harder than ever to communicate your value to high-level, incredibly busy industry executives—general strategies don’t always cut it. That’s why you rely on T.E.N. and ISE® Programs. The benefits experienced when sponsoring our programs empower your marketing strategy and deliver tangible sales opportunities.

Our customers tell us that ISE® Program sponsorships offer the most
visibility, direct access and qualified lead generation opportunities — more

open atmosphere of collaboration and celebration provides sponsors with
unparalleled access to North America’s most elite executives and key decision
makers. Once you experience this guaranteed one-on-one communication
cohesively integrated with our thought-provoking executive forum sessions
and spectacular award celebrations, you will discover your ISE® Sponsorship is
an essential component within your sales and marketing strategy and deliver
tangible sales opportunities.

Why Sponsor?

Build relationships with powerful decision makers in an exclusive environment

Celebrate the success and innovation of customers to strengthen your relationships

Face-to-Face Executive Level Demand Generation

In today’s fast‐paced business environment, engagement with prospects and customers has never been more critical and challenging. At T.E.N., we understand how frustrating it is to advance leads beyond contact information into an active relationship, often involving the arduous process of researching leads, making cold calls, emailing contacts and processing outdated accounts.

In a time where email, passive webinars, online advertising and phone calls only lead to wasted time and resources, sponsorship of T.E.N.'s ISE® Regional Programs, ISE® VIP Programs, ISE® Private Dinners, and other events makes it easy for you to build mutually beneficial relationships with the leading information security executives that produces tangible results with the first handshake.

Build Active Executive Relationships

The ISE® Program Series’ structure of education and celebration is designed to build upon and reinforce each event with interactive points of face-to-face discussion for sponsors and nominees that drive premier networking opportunities. Instead of brief hit-or-miss encounters at huge industry trade shows, sponsors are afforded intimate access to influential executive decision makers throughout the day-long ISE® Regional Programs, and additional hours with our extended ISE® North America Leadership Summit Program.

Beginning with the Keynote Address, the program moves into a day filled with peer education and interaction that includes illuminating executive roundtable discussions. Also exhibited during the Executive Forum are ISE® Nominee Showcase Presentations, which highlight the success of nominee leadership and projects—and can include discussions of how your solutions aided a nominee, should you choose to nominate a customer. With the evening comes a time of celebration. Beginning with the exclusive VIP Reception, followed by the Sponsor Pavilion and Gourmet Dinner Buffet, executives enjoy a relaxing time networking with one another and with our sponsors. The evening culminates with the Awards Gala and Champagne Reception.
